    Well he was a key part in assembling what has to be the most talent-laden roster in NFL history

    I think it would be a very well deserved honor.

    He was doing things and finding talent in areas and in ways that had never been done before. He also really understood talent, and was genius when it came to identifying elite talent that could translate to NFL football.

    I would love to see this happen.

    He deserves it almost as much as Dan Rooney who is already there. Those 2 were integral for the 1970s Steelers just like Chuck Noll and Joe Greene.

    Shouldn't he also get a "bump" for looking for talent in traditionally ignored places such as HBCs or is my.memory failing... again?

    He helped to sandbag Johnny Stallworth who was key to beating the Rams in 1979.

    Of course. That's what I was referencing in my first sentence of the second paragraph.

    Cool. I was just asking because Nunn predates my personal fandom. That era is super fascinating and I was checking to see if I had it right.
